Each TIR carnet has a unique reference number. A TIR carnet may have 4, 6, 14, or 20 vouchers, as one pair of vouchers is used per country; the number of vouchers indicates the number of countries that can be transited, including the countries of departures and destinations, under cover of this type of carnet, e.g. a 14-voucher carnet may be used for a TIR transport through up to 7 countries.
Each individual TIR carnet can be used for one TIR transport. Once the TIR operation has been terminated at the Customs office of destination of the goods, the driver is handed back the TIR carnet duly endorsed by the Customs authorities of destination and may proceed with the goods' delivery. The TIR carnet is returned to the IRU for control and archiving.
